A 63-year-old woman, who developed cold and cough symptoms after she visited Saudi Arabia, has been admitted to a private hospital here after suspecting that she may be infected with Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) or corona virus.

The screening counters to detect Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) or corona virus will be set up at the Bangalore and Mangalore International airports in two days time, said Health minister UT Khader on Friday.
